I have a friend in Zamboanga city, and I would like to purchase a phone for him. I would also like to take care of the billing myself, and I may be interested in setting up a broadband home line for him.

I've been unable to find an e-mail contact address for Globe so as to discuss my needs, make arrangements, etc.

How can I contact someone over there? I can call if you prefer, but you'll have to forgive me as I don't speak any Filipino languages, unless you count castellano.

Hi! Based on the title of your post 'Canada Visa', i am assuming you're located in Canada and that you want to apply for a home broadband for your friend located in Zamboanga?

Unfortunately, you cannot. Only Philippine residents, of legal age and who have permanent address here can apply for Globe plans.

However, there are other options for your friend:

1. He can visit any Globe store near his location in Zamboanga. He can inquire about the 7-months advance payment scheme without the need of much financial proof of income.

Note that applying at a globe store is more convenient and assessment and approval is faster. Since there are documents needed to be submitted, if for instance your friend cannot provide all these documents, the store can offer him other options.

2. If your friend cannot qualify under option 1, then he can ask someone who has all the requirements to apply for your friend. This is a matter of trust between your friend and the one who will apply for him.

Thanks for getting back to me promptly. I’m amazed that you replied to me at 4:xx in the morning your time.

Just so I understand things correctly:

1. It will be possible for me to cover the expenses of a home broadband setup IF I pay seven months' worth in advance?

2. The same policy is applicable towards postpaid phone accounts? For example I may purchase service, including LTE internet, etc, for my friend (I believe he has an iPhone in his possession) so long as I pay 6 + 1 months in advance?

3. You would be willing to accept my visa from canada, or perhaps paypal, such that I can take care of the fees myself, on behalf of my friend?
